LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Hot Topics’ on ‘The View’ is one of the most looked-out for segments on the talk show as the variety ranges from politics to sex. This time around, the co-hosts discussed how inappropriate yet common it has become for people to talk about their sex lives at their workplace.
Joy Behar, who has taken over Whoopi Goldberg’s spot for announcing the topic is quick to blame ‘young people’ for the notion stated above, as the co-hosts chime in with their opinions. The topic takes several awkward and uncomfortable turns as the ladies dish out their secrets about the workplace, from 'dryness to dating'.
‘We’re talking about dryness’
Behar read out her cue card as she introduced the hot topic to her co-hosts, “The Wall Street Journal has recently talked to a number of employees and managers in different workplaces and they are saying conversations in these office these days seems to include a lot more details about sex…people’s sex lives, which I found interesting.” Unlike Goldberg who gives her co-hosts a chance to speak at this point, Behar continued, “We just went through the whole Me Too thing, and these young people…they’re saying it’s because of social media. People say a lot of things on social media, and now they’re going into the office and they just talk about their sex lives.”
The first person to talk about the Me Too movement is Ana Navarro, however, it doesn’t take long for the conversation to take an awkward turn. Navarro explained why the movement started to begin before she dives into her own workplace, “I mean this place I think is too generous, I mean, it’s unique. When we’re not talking about sex, we’re talking about menopause, we’re talking about dryness.” Behar was quick to interrupt Navarro, “dryness?” Navarro is quick to awkwardly joke on-screen and say, “The throat.” The co-hosts erupt into laughter before Alyssa Farah Griffin takes over.
‘I have!’
Griffin talks about her own experiences of working with men who have been decades older than her and wanting to always keep a level of professionalism. Griffin also said, “I think there need to be barriers. I also have never dated in the workplace.” Before she could finish her train of thought, Sara Haines is quick to literally point out that she has previously dated in the workplace, with a loud, "I have!" Sunny Hostin also raises a finger admitting to the same but doesn’t seem too thrilled about it, unlike Haines.
